Career

As a youth Keita joined Borussia Mönchengladbach from hometown club Wuppertaler SV. Having left Mönchengladbach, he joined fifth-tier club Bonner SC before returning to Wuppertal, where he made few appearances for the club fighting relegation in 3. Liga.[4]

Keita spent almost four years in prison, having been found guilty in four cases of robbery, three of them rated as aggravated robberies and the first of which occurred in summer 2011 when he was 21. In 2014, he was sent to an open prison in Düsseldorf, allowing him to play semi-professional football for Oberliga side Ratinger SV as day-release prisoner. In his time there, he scored 18 goals in 50 matches.[4] In the 2016–17 season he netted 12 times for SG Wattenscheid 09 in the fourth-tier Regionalliga.[5]

In May 2017, 3. Liga club Fortuna Köln announced the signing of Keita on a one-year contract with the option of another.[5]

In June 2018, Keita-Ruel moved to SpVgg Greuther Fürth for the 2018–19 season.[6]
